RED Pro Loc King Cordless Auto Loc Styler #ALD01 – Interlocking Tool

It does the interlocking so your hands do not.

The RED Pro Loc King #ALD01 is a cordless tool that automates interlocking. Hair passes through a loop on the head, and a replaceable hooked tip pulls the end of the loc back through its own base — the same motion a loctician does by hand, done mechanically. It runs up to five hours cordless and ships with three loop sizes for different loc diameters.

• Interlocking by hand is the slowest, most repetitive part of a loc service. This automates the motion.
• Five hours of cordless runtime covers a full day of back-to-back loc clients.
• Three interchangeable loops — 0.35", 0.45" and 0.55" — cover small through large locs.
• The hook is replaceable, so a dulled tip is a part swap rather than a new tool.
• Works on natural locs and loc extensions from 2 inches of length.

Questions Barbers Ask

Does it palm-roll or interlock?

Interlock. It pulls the loc end back through its own base with a hooked tip. It does not palm-roll, and you will still finish with palm-rolling and retwist product.

Will it work on Sisterlocks or Microlocs?

No. RED states it is not for Sisterlocks, Microlocs or Wicks. The loop sizes start at 0.35", which is well above those diameters.

What is the shortest hair it works on?

Two inches. Below that there is not enough length to pass through the loop and interlock.

How fast is it really?

RED claims a 50–60% reduction in labour time. Treat that as the manufacturer's figure — your mileage depends on loc size and density.

What happens when the hook dulls?

It is replaceable. The Loc Hook Replacement Kit is part #LHK01 and includes the hook, bracket and fixing screw. A dulling hook is normal wear, not a failure.

Which loop size do I use?

Match the loop to the loc diameter, not the client's hair type — small 0.35", medium 0.45", large 0.55". Too large a loop and the interlock will not seat.

Why Barbers Love It

Loc maintenance is high-ticket, high-repeat work that most shops turn away because it eats hours. Cutting the interlocking time in half changes whether the service is worth booking.
